In the past, salmon would swim more than 1130 km (700 mi) to spawn at the headwaters of the Salmon River in central Idaho. The t

rip took about 22 days, and the fish consumed energy at a rate of 2.0 W for each kilogram of body mass. Part A What is the total energy used by a 2.0-kg salmon while making this 22-day trip?

Answer:

E_t_o_t_a_l=7.603MJ

Explanation:

The overall energy expenditure of the salmon, which corresponds to its swimming upstream effort, W, is linked to its specific mechanical power. Mechanical \ power calculated per unit mass can be derived from the following equation:

\frac{p}{m}=\frac{1}{m}|\frac{dW}{dt}|=2W/kg\\\frac{1}{2}|\frac{W}{22\times 24 \times 60\times 60}|=2\\\\W=7.603MJ

As a result, the total energy utilized during the 22-day journey is 7.603 MJ

Ostrovityanka [3204]

As the plane heads toward Halifax, the wind speed supports the flight path

resulting in an overall improved speed

Conversely, during the return trip, the wind will resist the plane's motion, decreasing the net speed

The total journey lasts 13 hours

of which 2 hours was dedicated to the mathematics discussion

Consequently, the total flight time is 13 - 2 = 11 hours

Now we apply the formula to calculate the time for traveling to Halifax

t_1 = \frac{d}{v + 50}

Time needed to return

t_2 = \frac{d}{v - 50}

Let’s look at the total time

T = t_1 + t_2

11 = \frac{d}{v - 50} + \frac{d}{v + 50}

Here d = 3000 miles

11 = \frac{3000}{v - 50} + \frac{3000}{v + 50}

3.67 * 10^{-3} = \frac{2v}{v^2 - 2500}

v^2 - 2500 = 545.45v

By solving the derived quadratic equation

v = 550 mph

the plane's speed calculates to 550 mph

The capacitors in each circuit are fully charged before the switch is closed. Rank, from longest to shortest, the length of time
Sav [3153]
This involves circuit analysis through simplification of the resistors and capacitors. We need to determine the time constant for each circuit in figures A, B, C, D, and E. This leads to ranking the duration the bulbs remain lit from longest to shortest based on each circuit's time constant. The ranking for the time constants is C > A = E > B > D. Capacitance plays a pivotal role in electrostatics, and devices called capacitors are vital components in electronic circuits. When more charge is applied to a conductor, the voltage escalates proportionately. The capacitance of a conductor is quantified as C = q/v. Adding resistors in series raises resistance while parallel configurations reduce it, conversely increasing capacitance in parallel and diminishing it in series. Thus, circuits with greater time constants take longer to discharge.

A simple harmonic wave of wavelength 18.7 cm and amplitude 2.34 cm is propagating along a string in the negative x-direction at
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer

Given:

Wavelength = λ = 18.7 cm

                  = 0.187 m

Amplitude, A = 2.34 cm

Velocity, v = 0.38 m/s

A)  Calculate the angular frequency.

     f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

     f = \dfrac{0.38}{0.187}

     f =2.03\ Hz

Angular frequency,

ω = 2π f

ω = 2π x 2.03

ω = 12.75 rad/s

B) Calculate the wave number:

      K = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

     K= \dfrac{2\pi}{0.187}

    K =33.59\ m^{-1}

C)

Since the wave is traveling in the -x direction, the sign is positive between x and t

y (x, t) = A sin(k x - ω t)

y (x, t) = 2.34 sin(33.59 x - 12.75 t)

A closed system of mass 10 kg undergoes a process during which there is energy transfer by work from the system of 0.147 kJ per
Softa [3030]

Result: -50.005 kJ

Details:

Provided Data

mass of the system = 10 kg

work done = 0.147 kJ/kg

Elevation change (\Delta h)=-50 m

initial speed (v_1)=15 m/s

Final Speed (v_2)=30 m/s

Specific internal Energy (\Delta U)=-5 kJ/kg

according to the first Law of thermodynamics

Q-W=\Delta H

\Delta H=\Delta KE+ \Delta PE +\Delta U

where KE represents kinetic energy

PE indicates potential energy

U denotes internal Energy

\Delta H=\frac{m(v_2^2-v_1^2)}{2}+mg(\Delta h)+\Delta U

Q=W+\Delta KE+ \Delta PE +\Delta U

Q=0.147\times 10+\frac{10\cdot (30^2-15^2)}{2}+10\cdot 9.81\cdot (-5)-5\times 10

Q = 1.47 + 3.375 - 4.850 - 50

Q = -50.005 kJ

A 55 kg gymnast wedges himself between two closely spaced vertical walls by pressing his hands and feet against the walls. Part
ValentinkaMS [3465]

answer:

Let frictional forces due to both hands and feets be "Ff" each(since its given that they all are equal), acting in upward direction( in opposite direction of supposed motion).\\
Then since there is no motion of gymnast thus net frictional force due to both hands and feets will be exactly balanced by the weight of the gymnast,\\ i.e\\
4f_{f}=weight =mg\\
f_{f}=\frac{55x9.8}{4}\\
=134.75N
